They looked at Gan Yimu and exchanged bewildered glances.
Zhang Weiguo continued, "Besides, brothers, you don't want others to know that you bribed me, do you?"
"Given the personalities of those two old men at the Kyoto Food Festival, if they knew about this, you'd probably never be able to make it in the culinary world again."
Hearing this, Gan Yimu panicked even more.
He originally bribed Zhang Weiguo with the intention of doing something to help himself win the championship; he didn't think that far ahead.
As someone who didn't even finish elementary school, his mind is actually quite simple.
Now that Zhang Weiguo had reminded him, he immediately panicked.
He knew nothing about barbecue, except for his skill in grilling. If those two old men found out, as he said, his life would be over.
Then think back to Xie Wei on the first day. He was the champion in the previous competition, and he was so impressive.
However, after receiving complaints from the public about something as trivial as price reduction, they were disqualified and expelled from the Kyoto Food Festival.
Such punishment is truly terrifying.
So, thinking about it this way, what terrible consequences would I face if my bribery of Zhang Weiguo were exposed?
Furthermore, Zhang Weiguo, as the president of Kyoto University, is an important figure in the education sector nationwide, and Kyoto University graduates every year make outstanding contributions in various fields.
Many of them are nationally renowned figures.
A single word can turn the tide.
If I do something that is detrimental to their principal, then I'll be in trouble from now on.
Thinking about this, he knew he wouldn't get the 500,000 yuan back.
Of course, I wouldn't dare accept it.
From the very beginning, Zhang Weiguo had planned to go this far.
They are indeed too cunning.
Seeing that continuing like this would not do him any good, Gan Yimu could only accept his bad luck.
He gritted his teeth and spoke to the thin, dark-skinned man beside him.
"Let's go!"
After saying that, he turned and walked back without looking back.
Watching the two figures gradually disappear into the distance, Zhang Weiguo squinted and patted his beer belly.
Breathing in the cool breeze, a look of pure enjoyment on his face, he murmured:
"Hmph, you're still too green to mess with me."
...
On the other side.
After Gan Yimu and the thin, dark-skinned man returned to their car, Gan Yimu angrily pounded on the steering wheel.
The thin, dark-skinned man quickly advised, "Brother Mu, don't be angry. How about we find someone else to do this?"
For Gan Yimu and his group, there were only three days left in the Kyoto Food Festival.
Currently, we are still more than 2 million yuan behind Lu Rong and his team in terms of revenue. With such a huge gap, we must do something tomorrow.
Otherwise, no matter what, we won't be able to catch up.
The situation was urgent, and they could not afford to hesitate any longer.
"Then what good suggestions do you have?" Gan Yimu asked the dark-skinned, thin man.
This dark-skinned, thin man was actually his longtime best friend.
I usually help him with errands and such.
However, he's not very clever; he's definitely a genius.
Of course, it can still be useful sometimes.
The thin, dark-skinned man suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "I've got it! Why don't we go find that vice principal?"
After listening, Gan Yimu felt that it made some sense.
They have thoroughly studied all the participants at booth number 88 over the past few days.
They are basically familiar with everyone.
Lu Rong would never accept bribes. He was the one participating in this competition, and with such high daily sales, he made countless amounts of money. There was no reason for him to listen to their bribes.
As for Su Tingyun, she is a well-known second-generation rich kid with a family fortune of over a billion, so naturally she wouldn't look down on their small amount of money.
As for Xu Fei, he has a hot-blooded and righteous look on his face, and he is not suitable to be a spy.
Therefore, they all turned their attention to the school leaders.
Among these school leaders, only Zhang Weiguo and Ma Jiang seemed relatively easy to bribe.
Now, it turns out they misjudged Zhang Weiguo.
They never expected that the president of Kyoto University would be so preoccupied and so unreasonable.
So cunning.
They simply can't compete with such an old fox.
But Ma Jiang is different. He gives people the impression of being humble, without any guile, and honest.
At that moment, the image of Ma Jiang's honest and simple nature flashed through their minds.
Such an honest person is perfectly suited to be given some tasks.
Once you give him money, he will definitely obey your every word.
They knew very well that the more honest a person was, the more diligently they would work for them once they received money.
They also gained better control.
Unlike Zhang Weiguo, who is not only difficult to control, even contacting him is a problem.
"Alright, alright, I'll do as you say." Gan Yimu's originally angry fat face finally relaxed a bit.
Because at that time, almost all the members of the Kyoto University food team were still nearby.
Like Zhang Weiguo, Ma Jiang's home is outside the city, so logically he should also drive back to school after returning.
Thinking that he shouldn't have gone far, Gan Yimu and the others didn't hesitate and immediately drove to the other parking lot to search for him.
As expected, perseverance pays off.
They actually found Ma Jiang scrolling through Douyin (TikTok) in his car there.
At this moment, Ma Jiang's phone is playing some inspirational quotes that middle-aged and elderly people love to hear.
"A man must make money. Only when you make money will your wife..."
